The correct answer to the question is : Gamma radiation.

EXPLANATION:

In a nuclear reactor, the water is heated due to the radiations coming from nuclear fission.

In the radioactive decay of uranium or other radio active substances, three types of radiations are produced which are known as alpha particle, beta particle and gamma ray.

Alpha particle is the double charged helium nucleus while beta is the stream of electrons. Hence, alpha and beta are the material particles. They are not radiations.

The gamma ray is an electromagnetic radiation. Hence, this will be responsible for heating water.

Hence, the correct answer is gamma radiations.

Answer:

The total amount of CO₂ produced will be = 20680 kg/year

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year = 3102 kg/year

Explanation:

Given:

Power used by household = 14000 kWh

Fuel oil used = 3400 L

CO₂ produced of fuel oil = 3.2 kg/L

CO₂ produced of electricity = 0.70 kg/kWh

Now, the total amount of CO₂ produced will be = (14000 kWh × 0.70 kg/kWh) + (3400 L × 3.2 kg/L)

⇒ The total amount of CO₂ produced will be = 9800 + 10880 = 20680 kg/year

Now,

if the usage of electricity and fuel oil is reduced by 15%, the reduction in the amount of the CO₂ emission will be = 0.15 × 20680 kg/year = 3102 kg/year

Which figure represents the electric field lines of two negative point charges?<br> Help

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The question is incomplete because the options are not given. We'll solve this question with the options.

There are two properties of negative charges which we have to consider to find the figure of its electrical field.

Firstly, for a negative charge, the electrical field lines are always directed radially outwards and they don't intersect.

Secondly, we know that similar charges repel each other, so there will be no electrical field present directly between these two negative charges. Electrical field line will be present between two charges only when there is a force of attraction.

Taking both of these facts into consideration, the electrical field line between two negatives is represented by the figure below.
